We present a canonical formulation of gravity theories whose Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the Riemann tensor. Our approach allows a unified treatment of various subcases and an easy identification of the degrees of freedom of the theory.

We study stellar configurations and the space-time around them in metric $f(R)$ theories of gravity. In particular, we focus on the polytropic model of the Sun in the $f(R)=R-mu^4/R$ model. We show how the stellar configuration in the $f(R)$ theory c
an, by appropriate initial conditions, be selected to be equal to that described by the Lane-Emden -equation and how a simple scaling relation exists between the solutions. We also derive the correct solution analytically near the center of the star in $f(R)$ theory. Previous analytical and numerical results are confirmed, indicating that the space-time around the Sun is incompatible with Solar System constraints on the properties of gravity. Numerical work shows that stellar configurations, with a regular metric at the center, lead to $gamma_{PPN}simeq1/2$ outside the star ie. the Schwarzschild-de Sitter -space-time is not the correct vacuum solution for such configurations. Conversely, by selecting the Schwarzschild-de Sitter -metric as the outside solution, we find that the stellar configuration is unchanged but the metric is irregular at the center. The possibility of constructing a $f(R)$ theory compatible with the Solar System experiments and possible new constraints arising from the radius-mass -relation of stellar objects is discussed.
Recent discussions of higher rank symmetric (fractonic) gauge theories have revealed the important role of Gauss constraints. This has prompted the present study where a detailed hamiltonian analysis of such theories is presented. Besides a general t
reatment, the traceless scalar charge theory is considered in details. A new form for the action is given which, in 2+1 dimensions, yields area preserving diffeomorphisms. Investigation of global symmetries reveals that this diffeomorphism invariance induces a noncommuting charge algebra that gets exactly mapped to the algebra of coordinates in the lowest Landau level problem. Connections of this charge algebra to noncommutative fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics are shown.
Pure gauge theories for de Sitter, anti de Sitter and orthogonal groups, in four-dimensional Euclidean spacetime, are studied. It is shown that, if the theory is asymptotically free and a dynamical mass is generated, then an effective geometry may be induced and a gravity theory emerges.
In this paper we propose a wider class of symmetries including the Galilean shift symmetry as a subclass. We will show how to construct ghost-free nonlocal actions, consisting of infinite derivative operators, which are invariant under such symmetrie
s, but whose functional form is not simply given by exponentials of entire functions. Motivated by this, we will consider the case of a scalar field and discuss the pole structure of the propagator which has infinitely many complex conjugate poles, but satisfies the tree-level unitarity. We will also consider the possibility to construct UV complete Galilean theories by showing how the ultraviolet behavior of loop integrals can be ameliorated. Moreover, we will consider kinetic operators respecting the same symmetries in the context of linearized gravity. In such a scenario, the graviton propagator turns out to be ghost-free and the spacetime metric generated by a point-like source is nonsingular. These new nonlocal models can be seen as an infinite derivative generalization of Lee-Wick theories and open a new branch of nonlocal theories.
A new systematic approach extending the notion of frames to the Palatini scalar-tensor theories of gravity in various dimensions n>2 is proposed. We impose frame transformation induced by the group action which includes almost-geodesic and conformal
transformations. We characterize theories invariant with respect to these transformations dividing them up into solution-equivalent subclasses (group orbits). To this end, invariant characteristics have been introduced. Unlike in the metric case, it turns out that the dimension four admitting the largest transformation group is rather special for such theories. The formalism provides new frames that incorporate non-metricity. The case of Palatini F(R)-gravity is considered in more detail.
